Product Information

Trumpeter Jon Eardley (1928-1991) made his recording debut with Phil Woods in 1954, when he also hit the jazz big time by replacing Chet Baker in Gerry Mulligan's celebrated quartet. For the next few years he played and recorded with Mulligan, including Mulligan's outstanding sextet, but also led three excellent record dates for Prestige. His debut quartet album »J. E. in Holllywood,« (originally called »First Sessions«) featured a fine Pete Jolly-Red Mitchell-Larry Bunker rhythm section, and is notable for pianist Jolly's inventive contributions and the fire, joyful exuberance, taste and imagination of the leader on a thoroughly swinging session. The second album, »Hey There, Jon Eardley!«, was a NYC quintet date featuring J. R. Monterose-one of the heartening tenors of his generation-and another quality rhythm section in which pianist George Syran is a considerable asset. Eardley's work here is singularly powerful. The third LP, »The J. E. Seven,« with the same rhythm section, was a particularly worthwhile blowing date with four horns, further enhanced by the work of the great Zoot Sims and Phil Woods, along with the leader. Eardley, who moved to Europe in 1969, deserved to be better known in his homeland. His tone was rich and vigorous, his conception always personal and comfortably within his limits, with a compact, logical and swinging style, a melodic approach and an acute ear.
